The Human Mask of Mind

"A Shakespearean Sonnet of Introspection"

~As the Master, Precept of Infinity’s divinities, 
   scuffles the senses of the Moses deck of life once again, 
   human concepts often need of love's mercy again to please. 
   I am deceived once again by mask face of the human sin! 

 `O falseness of masks, made of concepts of the social grace, 
   politically correct for the worldly mind to inspect, 
   albeit, I seek realign in Precept Divine, new face, 
   for my pride of life, causes  great strife, endeavors re-erect. 

   Love erases by multi-grace of its Divine divinities, 
   many shattered notions, abiding the need of the multi-grace. 
   These multi-faces of social graces lie with increasing ease, 
   as reality’s face, God‘s grace, seems to care so out of place. 

   I shall press the wrinkles, of physical sense of Agape, 
   as Love’s monopoly I become photo static copy!

Dear John, there are many "masks" out there with people hiding from the truth behind them. You are always true to yourself and never wear a mask, so you have no wrinkles to press. Excellent entry for Nette's contest and I wish you success! Love, Carolyn
